210 Ancient Civilizations




Hatshepsut had to work really hard to become the first female pharaoh of Egypt. She had to wear a fake beard, men's clothing and tell painters to paint her as a man. The United States has never had a female president. Hillary Clinton is trying to become the first woman in the White House.

Why do you think the United States has never had a woman as president? Do you think a woman would make a good or a bad president? Why? Your answer to both questions must have at least two complete paragraphs (each paragraph must have at least three complete sentences).

I think usa never had a female as president because they think a woman doesn't have the power of control as a man,or because the usa only had have male people and it start long time ago.

I think it would not be a good president because she can't be like a male because the women is suppoust to play barbies and they have to cook for the men because when the men come from work they'll got to work they'll have to eat something.

Guys,

Do not abbreviate as USA. Next time write United States!

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Wilmer,

You only wrote one sentence about why you think we never had a woman as president. You needed at least three. You also never talked about if yuou think a woman could do a good job as a president. Its incomplete! If you do not add to your question, then you will get a failing grade.

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Haiker and Andy,

Your answers are exactly alike. Word for word. Who wrote this? Only one of you can get credit for it. I need to know or both of you have to re do your answers.

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Brenda,

You need at least three sentences per paragraph. You answer both parts of the questions, but you did not give many details. What about important females that you know in your life and in the world.

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Everyone must re-do their questions. You need to give more details.

Example: What is better team in the 2007 season? the Red Sox or the Yankees? You can't say the Red Sox is a better team because you hate the Yankees and you love the Red Sox.

You could say...

1) The Red Sox had a better starting pitching rotation
2) Many Ramirez and David Ortiz are the best one-two punch in baseball.
3) The Red Sox won more games and won the division
4) The Red Sox beat the Indians and the Indians beat the Yankees.
5) The Red Sox won the World Series.
6) Details, Details, Details!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that United States didnt had a famale presint because maby they might think that womans dont have the power as a man. Second reason is because woman are more snsetive than mans. Finally,I think that because the woman wont do the same performance as a man.


I think woman would make a good president.First, I think tht because the woman maby would have different and better minds.second, i think thatthe woman as president would give more money to the people that need to eat.

I think the Usa never had a woman as president becuse they'll want to keep the same order because ihn the last years all the presidents had been being males so that is why i think they never had a female as president.

I dont a woman wont be a good president because the female has too many things to worry about like her family or another things like things that she wants to do on another countries for example in the couyntries that her family live.

I think because men have more power than a woman.I think men are more serious than a woman.the more power to speak and I think men have more choices to become a president.I think a woman would make a good president.Ithink that because they are honest and cheerful.they also give you a second chancewith the help that you need.I would like a woman president so I would meet the first president woman.

I think that the u.s.a had never had a women as a president.fisrt, is because maybe they think that a women is not smart enough to controlled the u.s.a.Second, i think because they know that a women has lot of stuff to do to controlled the u.s.a.

I think a women could do a good job as been a president.First,because a women could be as smart as a man.Second,i think is because a women could have the power to control the .u.s.a the same way as a man.Finally,a women have the same adbillity as a man.

Haiker,

I think that your answer got a lot better. I am not here to agree or disagree with you. It is your opinion! I am here to help you support your argument or opinion by giving clear reasons why you think the way you do.

Why do you think people think womEN would not do the same job (performance) as mEN would? You did not show why. Remember, in English class they teach you about the difference in between telling and showing. You told but did not show why womEN would not have the same performance. Why would you think womEN would give more help to the poor? You have to explain in the future.

Haiker, you did a much better job this time, but pay attention to my feedback and the spelling words.

Andy,

Don't abbreviate United States as USA. It is not ok. You gave one good reason why you do not think that we ever had a female president (44 males and preserve the order). You also gave one reason why you think females would not be good presidents (they have to take care of the family).

In the future I expect at least two reasons for each argument/opinion. Now I have a question for you...

Do you think it is fair that womEN have to stay home and take care of the house only? What if they have dreams? Shouldn't womEN have a chance? What about baby sitters and maids? We do have female senators and representatives (diputadas)

Mr. Pitts-Dilley

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Cristian,

Much better. You gave good reasons, but I still want to see two paragraphs (separate them by entering "ENTER"). You gave your opinions and tried to explain them. I have a question for you...

Do all womEN act alike? Are all womEN kind? Do all womEN give second chances?

Mr. Pitts-Dilley

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Wilmer,

You never explained why you think we never had a female president. I added your first comment to give you a grade. By "rebajal" the food do you mean cafeteria ladies? I am confused.

TWO PARAGRAPHS

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Brenda,

Don't write U.S.A., write United States. Also, pay attention to the spelling of womAN (singular) and womEN (plural).
You gave some ver ygood reasons why you think we never had a female president and why womEN could be good presidents. Women could be or women ARE as smart as mEN?

You know, during Xmas dinner my girlfriend's grandmother said that womEN in this country are not ready to be presidents. They are not "savy" enough! What do you think about that?
